Does anyone recall the Blue Room Association of 1927? The Blue Room was a large otherwise unused space in the building where non-rowing Yale student volunteers stayed during the Y-H Regatta on the Thames. We all painted our names in that room in blue, of course.

Although I rowed lightweight freshman year, I was asked to become Varsity Manager of Crew. My chief job was to drive Coach Jim Rasmussen’s launch during our practice rows up and down the Housatonic from the old boathouse at Derby.

I can still fit into my letter sweater featuring a large Y with crossed oars.

I was class of 1970, so this was all long ago.

@Jim—It just didn’t work out for me. Life had other plans.

Forgive me if I’m misinterpreting your reply, but what happened with Dartmouth?

Jim Beam—Neither. I had my sights set on Dartmouth.

James—I drove by the Harvard boat house while in Cambridge last week…the water was glass. So serene.

I am making a point to watch them this year.  In the winter I was driving through the back roads of CT and got lost.  But happened upon the Yale boat house.  The water and house looked magical. I can’t wait…
